Potential slack is an effective metric of circuit’s possible performance improvement. It is equal to the maximal amount of slack that can be potentially used for optimization. I...
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
Clock skew scheduling is a technique that intentionally introduces skews to memory elements to improve the performance of a sequential circuit. It was shown in [21] that the full ...
The application of general clock skew scheduling is practically limited due to the difficulties in implementing a wide spectrum of dedicated clock delays in a reliable manner. Th...
